Play to end 4:46am EDT...10 minutes into last 2 hour level of night. John Kalmar (the Brit from last year's FT) just got bounced. His set of deuces was leading after turn card...he went all-in, his opponent tanked and asked if he'd get a penalty if he exposed his cards...after hearing yes...he finally called showing Ac3s on a board of:

3s 2d As Js

River was 3c....giving him the better full house!

TJ Cloutier busted out A10 off vs. pocket red aces

Jeff Madsen up to 80K after his pocket kings held up vs. pocket deuces went his opp. went all-in preflop

David Singer up to 130K after his tens held up vs. nines after putting his opp. all in after turn, now in 4th for the day

Brad Booth up to 94K (14th)

Russell vs. Hachem
Russell Rosenblum raises to 1,200 in early position and Joe Hachem calls from middle position. The small blind and big blind also call.

The flop is and it's checked to Hachem. He bets 3,500 and Rosenblum calls. The turn is and Rosenblum leads out for 6,000. Hachem calls.

The river is and Rosenblum bets 6,000 again. Hachem goes into the tank.

"This is so brutal," says Hachem.

"I'm shaking my head at you," he says to the dealer in mock annoyance. "You can't blame the dealer," says another player. "Yes, I can," says Hachem.

"Just meant to be tortured all day, eh?" he says. He asks for a pot spread. "Right value bet. Right value bet," Hachem mutters. Finally, he tosses out the call and turns over for the flopped set -- but Rosenblum has for the turned straight.

"Of course. Tens," says Hachem. He's down to 16,000 and Rosenblum has 67,000.

Seems like Hachem's a real nice guy...not

Was just about to post that...too funny!

Play ends at 3:46am EDT...bad math earlier.

Tony G. has now just busted.

for winning two of the biggest tournaments, like ever, hachem really needs to chill out imo and stop with his antics...the dealer had it out for him too when his Q7 sucked out on Kanter

Tiffany Michelle sitting at 41,000

Hachem needs to find a grease fire. I can't think of a more unlikable ME winner ever.

Stu Ungar?

Moving in Opposite Directions

Hachem seems really lame

Does anyone know how Mikey did today? I can't find it anywhere

It appears 48K...but Pokernews.com's chip counts still need to be updated.

Recent ME winners complaining about how bad they run is just sad.

lolololol

Keep the good news coming

my god i hate hachem so much

They have the amazon room, brasilia room, tournament room, buchio room and pokerpit on the other end of the casinomitself. 2100 places are sold finnishing day 1c and they expect a lot of late registers. My guess is we will brake last years number.

2,700 is the max since they're not doing alternates. In MTTC, someone was saying that tomorrow would sell out to get to 7,000. They're already over last year's figure at this time.
